Lyrics: Paradise Bar

Hey, it was later in September and the leaves were on the ground

A night chill in the autumn air as I pushed the pedal down

The road was slick, I drove too quick and lost it on a bend

I overtook the future, went beyond the bitter end

I'm in paradise


An old man in a pick-up truck offered me a ride

Somehow he knew where I was going, invited me inside

He floored me with weird looks, said, "Let's go find a bar."

The band is pretty good with Jimi Hendrix on guitar

I'm in paradise

At the paradise bar


You have to cry no tears

Oh baby, I'm alright here


They said, "You'll never go up there, you'll end up down below."

Didn't quite turn out that way, but how were they to know?

And I'm somewhere else entirely, the drinks are all for free

My paradise is everything I wanted it to be

I'm in paradise

At the paradise bar
